(VOVWORLD) - The Ministry of Health (MoH) is proposing that people can enter Vietnam without certificates of COVID-19 vaccination or recovery but need to implement anti-pandemic measures.

The proposal has been sent to ministries, ministry-level and governmental agencies, and provincial-level administrations for recommendations.
Accordingly, the MoH suggested that air passengers need to show a certified negative result of RT-PCR/RT-LAMP tests within 72 hours or of rapid antigen tests within 24 hours prior to their departure. They also don’t need to undergo post-entry testing but have to follow COVID-19 prevention and control measures like those who have been staying in Vietnam.
For people entering Vietnam by other means of transportation, those who already had a negative test result for the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 will follow anti-pandemic rules like air passengers.
All people entering Vietnam will have to make health declarations prior to their entry and use the health declaration app PC-COVID throughout their stay in the country.
